Happens all the time. Check the bottom dowels and make sure the input shaft is lined up completely.

I had this problem when i did my clutch. it sounds forceful. but when i split the tranny and engine i had to use a hammer and prybar. the dowels are snug. when i put it back in, made sure everything was lined up and had to tap it with a dead blow. thin sucked it in with the bolts. hope this helps

Are you sure you don't have dowel pins in both the tranny and the block? If you had the clutch off, did you use an alignment tool align the clutch disc and pressure plate splines?

Also make sure that you take out the alignment tool once the clutch is tightened. I would've normally played that off as obvious, but I myself forgot one time and it took about 30 frustrating minutes to figure out my own stupidity.

angle is pretty the same on transmission and engine , the TOB is on the tranny with the fork on it but don't you have to wait till the engine is tightend on the transimission before clipping it on the pressure plate?
